Madmind Studio and Team Alpha have announced Agony: Lords of Hell, a new empire management strategy game set in the same universe as their prior games, Agony and Succubus.

Agony: Lords of Hell follows Nimrod and Vydija from Agony and Succubus on their quest to conquer Hell. A power vacuum in Hell has resulted in various tribes and groups of demons rising up in an attempt to claim the throne. Agony: Lords of Hell is a mixture of empire management and RTS, where players will raise armies, construct and upgrade cities, and conquer the territories of rival demon lords on their quest for power.

Agony: Lords of Hell is in development for Windows PC via Steam, and will have a Kickstarter campaign sometime in 2022, along with a demo for backers. The first trailer for the game will be released soon.

You can find a rundown (via Steam) below:

Take over the chaos of hell, which from the moment of when it was abandoned by its original rulers, is consumed with never-ending wars.

Take on the role of the new king of the underworld – Nimrod, who with his demonic partner Vydija, begins the construction of his empire, conquering more land.

Confront the Lords of Hell and take control of the lands they rule.
Burn their cities to the ashes and convince their followers to enhance the power of your empire.

Build your empire

The story of the game will tell about the fate of the main characters of Agony and Succubus – king Nimrod and Vydija, a demonic succubus. With the departure of the rightful rulers of Hell, a war for the throne broke out. The lords of hell, ruling over different lands, begin to gather armies of demons to slay the rulers who threatened them. Our heroes will be forced not only to maintain their current position, but also to expand their empire and conquer the enemy territories.

Real-time Strategy

The main inspiration for the gameplay in Agony: Lords of Hell is the iconic Populous series. While the main character of the game – Nimrod, will focus on developing the city and managing the army, the demonic Vydijia will become the main unit controlled by the player. With numerous combat skills and special powers, Vydija will lead Nimrod’s army to victory, and will be the key strategic element of every battle.

Thanks to her high position among other succubi, Vydija will use her abilities to seduce and then incorporate martyrs, who do not belong to any of the factions, into her own army.

Become the only and most powerful leader.
